Liverpool are reportedly preparing a massive $250 million bid for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, according to sources. The Premier League champions are looking to bolster their attacking options and see the Swedish international as the ideal fit.
Isak has been a revelation for Newcastle, scoring consistently and attracting attention from top clubs across Europe. His pace, skill, and finishing ability have made him one of the most sought-after strikers in the world.
However, Newcastle are reluctant to let go of their prized asset. The club is said to be demanding a fee exceeding £150 million ($190 million) for Isak, who is under contract until 2028. Some reports even suggest that Newcastle would want a world-record fee close to £200 million ($254 million).

To fund the move, Liverpool may need to sell some of their current players. Nunez has been mentioned as a possible candidate to be offloaded.
Isak himself has expressed his love for Newcastle and his focus on performing for the club. However, he has also stated his desire to play Champions League football, which could sway his decision if Liverpool make a formal offer.
The transfer saga is expected to continue in the coming weeks, with Liverpool facing a tough negotiation with Newcastle to secure the services of Alexander Isak.
